Selenomethionine, an organic form of selenium, is a readily absorbable form of this essential trace mineral. Selenium functions as an integral part of glutathione peroxidase, an important antioxidant enzyme, and is required for normal thyroid function.

Niacin, also referred to as Vitamin B3 or Nicotinic acid, is recognized as a cardio-protective agent, primarily due to its action in inhibiting triglyceride hydrolysis, resulting in both an increased HDL and a lowered triglyceride level.

Meda-Stim™ supplies vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and botanical constituents to support the normal conversion of thyroid hormones, T-4 to T-3. In the bloodstream, T3 and T4 are carried by thyroine-binding globulin, thyroxine binding preablumin and serum albumin. T4 is converted to T3 by the liver, lungs, kidneys and heart by a selenium-dependent enzyme called Iodothyronine-5’monodeiodinase. T3 is then taken up by appropriate target cells, where it is transported to the nucleus to activate transcription.
